The FCC has kindly outed Cisco’s latest device, the FlipShareTV, seemingly a companion media streamer for the company’s Flip range of point-and-shoot camcorders. The three-part FlipShareTV consists of a remote control, USB dongle for your computer, and a set-top box, with a basic folder-based browsing structure that can be used to view recorded video that has been transferred from the camcorders.
Novatel Wireless’ HSPA+ MiFi has made it to North America, but before US readers storm their nearest GSM carriers it’s Canada that gets the speedy goods. The Novatel MiFi 2372 is just one of Canadian carrier Bell Mobility’s new HSPA+ devices, taking advantage of the new high-speed network set to go live in November.
We liked the original Iomega StorCenter ix2 back when we reviewed it roughly twelve months ago, but the rest of the home NAS market has advanced in the intervening period and the ix2 is looking a little stale. To address that fact, Iomega have launched the StorCenter ix2-200, their second-gen version of the dual-drive backup station, now boasting removable storage and more. Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

Active Media are becoming known for pairing reasonably performing solid-state drives with reasonably affordable price tags, and that's a combination we can't find much to argue with here at SlashGear. The latest series, the Predator X7 SSD line, is no different: capacities start at 32GB, then rise through 64GB and 128GB before topping out at 256GB.
My first computer was a Tandy from Radio Shack that my parents bought for me one Christmas when I was five. The thing didn’t even have a hard drive and the first computer I had with a hard drive has a few measly megabytes of storage and wouldn’t even hold my IM app today. My point is that we are always needing more storage space and what we think is enough. If your old flash drive is full and you are in need of something with more space, Corsair has announced a new 64GB Flash Survivor USB drive that may be just the ticket.
Logitech have announced their latest QWERTY ‘board, the Logitech Gaming Keyboard G110, complete with custom key backlighting and an integrated USB soundcard for directly connecting a headset and microphone. The Gaming Keyboard G110 has both blue and red LEDs, which can also be mixed together for purple shades, as well as a cluster of gaming shortcuts and macro buttons.

Optoma's PK-100 pico-projector may not be, at $196.99, exactly a small-change purchase, but the entry-level model does at least bring the ownership hurdle a little lower. Announced at the start of the month, and now up for sale on Amazon, the PK-100 promises up to a 60-inch image (albeit at a maximum 480 x 320 resolution) and 11 lumens brightness.
A Taiwanese company called Pretec has announced what it claims to be the world’s fastest USB flash drive known as the i-Disk Tango 266X. The performance claims for the little flash drive are impressive. The maximum theoretical speed of the USB 2.0 specification is 60MB/sec, and we all know those maximum speeds are rarely achieved.
We’ve a soft spot for Clickfree’s straightforward backup drives, ever since playing with some of the early hardware back in March and discovering it was simple enough even to get a lazy SlashGear editor (i.e. me) to regularly backup. Now Clickfree are back with their next-gen drives, the C2 series. As well as basic usability improvements – there’s now an attached USB cable that tucks away in a cut-out on the back, meaning forgetting the cord is no longer a valid excuse – the Clickfree C2 also adds in some more advanced functionality.
What’s particularly frustrating about Dell’s ongoing teaser campaign for the Adamo XPS is that it’s not as though their new ultraportable would go short of attention with a regular launch: how many people – geeks or otherwise – would turn their noses up at a 9.9mm thick notebook? Still, the latest trickle of information comes in the form of two new photos, showing the Adamo XPS’ unusual hinge and minimal port selection.
